I'm surprised you don't get any reflection off the hood. Why did you rule out mounting them above the windshield?
Auxiliary LED lighting
7
The Pioneer lacks bright lights. Yes the headlamps are sufficient in most cases, but a little more illumination never hurt anything.
I bought 4 27W LED lights. Two round ones and two rectangles. The rounds have more of a "flood" effect and the rectangles are more of a "beam". I picked them up on Amazon.com. They were under $100 for all of them together. There are plenty of them to choose from. I suggest you check reviews and base your selection on that.
I mounted the fronts towards the bottom edge of my windshield. Since it's made of Lexan, I just drilled a hole through the window itself and mounted the light bracket with a bolt. I suggest using a lock washer as well.
I drilled the hole a little larger in the brackets for mounting the rear lights. I then used the tail of one of the bolts for the upper roll cage to seat the light on. I used zip ties to secure the wiring to the inner part of the cage for a cleaner install.
The lights are extremely bright for their size and cost. This photo is the front beams. That dumpster is 50-60 yards out.
The rear floods are a little softer in light. Width of projection increases. Dumpster is around 30yds out.
I am very happy with the look and function of the lights.

Hmm. What if your tractor, car, truck, or whatever other vehicle breaks down and you need a portable light to work on it? Or ! What if your house gets a broken window in the middle of the night. You'd have the perfect portable lights to work on it.
Or add another scenario and then you can justify it .
